thats a really great honest breakdown Frankie. Im not necessarily a fan of the drivetrain ether, but I could do more research on that before a made full judgment.
Thank you Craig, I hope I get to ride every single motor in the near future and give it a personal touch rather than relying on Torque specs only. But for now I can only work with what I have, but i'm excited for the future and will continue to work on improving my rating system!
Owning one of these, Honest rating considering it's price: 4/10. Good: powerful, decent brakes, quiet motor, Dropper post. Bad: Carbon frame (not for MTB!!!), Cable noises in the frame (as they enter, when you turn they are NOISY), the bike feels cheap because it has very budget fork, shocks, brake levers, saddle, wheels, drivetrain. Fork only had 1 setting. Too long stem (50mm) for 65 head angle bike, very cheap stem and plastic headset kit, noisy headset, ugly geometry (I know, 65 HA would make you think it's a nice enduro), absolutely disgusting and limited display (literally 3 modes, walk, on/off), no connectivity of any kind. Medieval bike, I regret buying it.
I am very close to buying. I am in western Canada FY 22 are On sales. This is what I have narrowed it down 2022 Norco fluid A1 with 9000w battery $6200 CDN taxes included vs Cube 2022 Stereo 160 HPC Race E625 $7600 with tax. Any opinions? Let me decide guys?
Good one! Very close to the Levo alloy, overall good bike. You may have been a bit harsh on the electronics integration category... 😄
Thank you Jeanmarc! very close in comparison to the Levo! i just wish the display unit is smaller.
great review. i just ordered the 2023 stereo hybrid 160 slx. nice
Congrats brother! Enjoy NBD!

Thats a great deal brother!
Another great informative vid Frankie 👌
Thank you Ché!

The travel between these two bikes are pretty significant. Any chance you’ve test ridden these bikes?
sorry but this is 2021 model.
Nope. It's the 2022 model. I got the same bike.
